A response soon came from the mountain, and Xiaomi left it alone, instead taking out a handful of lotus seeds she prepared last night and scattering them into the fish pond.
The fish pond was huge, but the flow of water drawn from the spring was small, so even after eight or nine days, the water level was not even a finger deep.
This year, the Start of Spring came early, on the second day of the lunar New Year, and the weather wasn't particularly cold these days.
She had smoothed both ends of the lotus seeds and soaked them in the Spiritual Spring water for two days, ensuring a high germination rate.
Although her parents said there was no need to plant lotus roots in the fish pond, since the water level was quite deep—previously dug out to two meters and tamped down—it was now nearly two and a half meters deep.
It was perfect for raising fish, but using it to plant lotus roots seemed a bit too deep.
